The Bladen County Starz had a great day yesterday – undefeated on the field!
Unfortunately, today’s games were rained out, but we’re still riding high on the incredible effort and teamwork these girls brought to the field. The bats were HOT, and the energy was even better!
Although a disappointment to have day 2 of the tournament canceled, Bladen County Starz had a strong field presence going 3-0 in pool play.
This group of girls continues to impress us—not just with their talent, but with their support for one another. They encourage, cheer, and push each other to be their best every step of the way.
Proud of the progress, the friendships, and the heart this team brings.
Below are some highlights from the day in pictures shared by Brandy Matheson.
